King's College Chapel provides a glorious acoustic, splendidly recorded, bathing the music in resonance but retaining every detail.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2006 ***** “…the AAM's honest and direct playing is pleasantly matched with neatly executed solos.” Gramophone Magazine, June 2006 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Well, strictly speaking this is not a new release, but as the original issue of this important and unique set has been out of stock for almost two years we think a reminder is called for. The need to create new artwork caused the hiatus in repressing, but it also gave us the opportunity to re-think the packaging, and the set is now contained within a slim clamshell box with cardboard inner sleeves (rather than the original large box containing eight standard jewel cases with individual booklets for each disc). There is now one substantial and fully updated 72-page booklet which contains all the texts and a trilingual note. This is the only complete recording of Purcell’s Odes and Welcome Songs and, as such, one of the treasures of the Hyperion catalogue—it makes a very welcome return. 'A treasure house of shamefully neglected music. Over nine hours of wonderful invention ... this major recording achievement must be an irresistible temptation' (BBC Music Magazine) | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
